Bible and Justice: Ancient Texts, Modern Challenges, ed. Matthew J.M. Coomber, Equinox Publishing.This is a truly major contribution to discourse about the Bible and Ethics. To date the discussion has been dominated by simplistically polarized positions: on the one hand, the assumption that the Bible supports justice today without equivocation; on the other hand, the assumption that the outdated ethical views of the Bible are inapplicable today. The present volume confronts this dichotomy head-on by showing how the Bible may indeed contribute to efforts at social justice today once the difficulties in bridging the temporal and sociopolitical gap that separates us from the biblical world is taken fully into account. This volume coincides with the newly established Center and Library for the Bible and Social Justice in the United States which is committed to a critical sharing of the biblical imperatives for social justice with scholars, clergy, laity, and especially social activists and educators.'Norman K.

Re-Reading the Prophets Through Corporate Globalization, Gorgias Press."This very interesting and wide-ranging work not only offers new readings of land misuse in Isaiah and Micah, it probes more thoroughly than any study hitherto into the possible range of social contexts and social-group interests that lie behind these texts. Coomber clearly conveys his ability to integrate different academic disciplines for exegetical ends and for making important advances in sociological approaches to biblical studies." - David Chalcraft, University of Derby "This nuanced and welcome study makes a significant contribution to an area where relatively few dare to tread: ancient Near Eastern and biblical economics. Coomber is fully aware of the hermeneutical challenges and potential snares that are involved with comparative approaches of this kind and his use of economic theories, sociology, and patterns of agrarian life show his attentiveness to these issues." - Roland Boer, University of Newcastle "Coomber covers some crucial areas in socio-economic history on the macro- and micro- levels. This book is (rightly) ambitious and much broader in scope than standard biblical studies books and will be of value beyond Hebrew Bible/Old Testament studies. It is clearly written, well argued, and creative. Anyone with a genuine concern for global justice in relation to the Bible needs to read this impressive book." - James Crossley, University of Sheffield
